Apple Watch Series 4's new aesthetic was praised by Express.co.uk in our full review and was one of the many reasons we awarded it five out of five stars.

Technology Editor David Snelling said: "The Apple Watch was already the best smartwatch you could buy.

"But the Series 4 has just taken this device to another level.

"The bigger screen improves the whole usability and updates to the Digital Crown, fitness features and speakers all add the appeal."

While the Apple Watch product line has already been praised for its suite of functionality, it appears Apple could soon make it even better with a range of new features.

Bloomberg recently issued a report, citing sources familiar with Apple's plans, that discussed the possible announcements that could be made at the tech powerhouse's forthcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

First and foremost, the outlet insisted the Cupertino-based firm plans to make the Apple Watch "more independent from the iPhone" overall by adding the App Store "directly" onto the wearable.

If true, such functionality could allow Apple Watch owners to more easily add new software onto their wrist.

At the moment, owners of the wearable rely on a dedicated iPhone app in order to add new programmes to the Apple Watch.

Bloomberg also declared Apple will also announce a deluge of new apps for the wearable that included:

• Voice Memos

• Apple Books

• Calculator

• Dose

• Cycles

Dose was stated to be a piece of software designed for alerting users when to take pills while Cycles was detailed to track menstrual cycles.

Additionally, Bloomberg noted Apple is planning to introduce additional watch face complications that will allow users to see more information at a glance.

Some of these were detailed to show the battery life of hearing aids, rain data, levels of noise and more.

Finally, it was insisted at least four new watch faces are coming, too.

Although the claims above have not been officially confirmed by Apple, it would not be unfamiliar for the wearable's software to be discussed at WWDC.

Last year Kevin Lynch, the vice president of technology at Apple Inc. took to the stage at WWDC and discussed a range of new features for the watch.

WWDC will kick-off on June 3 and Express.co.uk will be covering all the announcements live.
